Near the Hospital

Never in their lives would they have thought to be on-the-run to escape from the Government and Capitol Peacekeepers, they would have to make it right.

Ms. Umali: Bilisan niyo na! Malapit na silang makarating sa Araneta Coliseum!

Patrict: Ma'am, paano kayo?

Ms. Umali: Huwag niyo na ako intindihin, sasabihin ko lang na masyadong malala kaya nilipat kayo sa ibang hospital.

Dawn: Ma'am, paano kung makita kami sa Araneta?

Ms. Umali: Then, no choice, game over. Kasali kayo sa Hunger Games. Isa lang ang mabubuhay.

Dawn: Patrict, malapit na sila makarating! Halika na, mag-taxi na tayo!

Patrict: Ma'am, ingat kayo.

Ms. Umali: Lalo na kayo!

Malacanang Palace

Press conference has been all over the place and the reaping for the 100th Hunger Games, a special one for it's also the 4th Quarter Quell, which happens just once in every 25 years, with a theme. The first is voting for the tributes of Panem, the second one is for having twice the number of required tributes, the third one is to collect all the victors or winners of the Hunger Games for another battle, and this one sounds so epic, everyone knows each other for they're classmates and their bonds could prove detrimental to the drama in the Games, and the tributes all came from Philippines, suddenly postponing deaths of other teens in Panem.

Under the covers of the camera, a talk arouse between President Noynoy Aquino and the Directress-Principal of St. Mary's Academy of Sto. Nino.

Noynoy: Sister Maria Magdalena L. Leocadio, RVM, gusto ko lang ipaalam sa inyo na tuloy ang kontrata nating dalawa. Pinili kasi ni President Clemen ang Modesty na seksyon sa inyo dahil may gusto siyang malaman, malaman na mahalaga. Handa siyang magbigay ng 20 Million dollars para idevelop mo ang school mo.

Sister Maggie: OF COURSE! Malaki iyan, grabe ang baba lang ng binabayad nilang tuition, sige paglabanin mo na sila! Baka maging Harvard na itong SMASN!

Noynoy: Kailangan nating magsakripisyo ng buhay nila.

Sister Maggie: Buhay na walang saysay!
